I'd tune in out of curiosity. I only watched part of one episode when it was on TV.
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Cop Rock had its moments (and every time I see an ad for one of these TV judges that has a choir singing in the courtroom, I think "did we learn NOTHING from Cop Rock?"). And seriously - it was better than a lot of what's on now. And getting renewed.

When I first started watching Glee I didn't realize that they were actually doing the singing - then I realized those were their real voices and I was impressed.

I feel like Glee sounded overproduced in the first couple episodes and that they toned it down.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
However, I also don't think liking a show means you can't point out what it could do better.
That's not what I think a critique is about. I think every work should have those kind of contradictions and you're interested in how they're juggled. Though I'll readily admit there are a variety of ways you can approach the notion from dramaturgy to deconstruction to dramatic critique to a theatrical review in a newspaper.

Melisma?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Who do you think is the most autotuned? I kind of think Kurt and Finn.
Mercedes, Rachel and Santana seem to have more "real" (unadultered) voices.

The finale had a lot of really bad lipsynching by the club. When Lea started "To Sir with Love," I could immediately tell she was just a hair off, and so were the rest of the cast on that song. Very sloppy.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Melisma is a pretty specific term. It refers to a series of notes sung on one syllable. [link]
I think Kurt just has a really pure falsetto. I don't think he's auto-tuned.
Finn? Bless his heart.
